It was a fantastic session. Yeah, we found that very informative. I thought we were better off than we were. But yeah, it was actually really good to get some good tips. So looking forward to working with you more.

Wellington Attendee Wellington

I found it very helpful. Great tips about how to save money. I found the service providers that were there also very helpful. I've got some great ideas. And I even got some affirmation that I am doing somethings right. There are other things that I can do. Great food, great wine. Definitely recommend you coming along to find out information and just find out what you don't know.

Fast Track My Mortgage Testimonials

Cam & Marie, Wellington Slashed $242,000

"We actually had more money at the end of each week. Following the plan you put down on paper, which seems stupid. But it was just really simple. It's kind of counterintuitive. It sounds [like] upside down world, right? For such little change that we had to do, we got such a good return, such a big return....We've been doing trips to Sydney once a year, twice a year!

Kotisi & Kelly, Auckland Slashed $365,000

We just thought we were locked in for like that whole 25 years. We're learning stuff that we never would have thought of unless we've done this course. And, yeah, I think before we did this course, we just had no idea of how we can save money or how we can. We didn't even know we could pay for the mortgage faster. Now we see we'll actually have paid off our mortgage.

Katrina, Gisborne Slashed $192,000

It just really reduced my anxiety around what I'm doing. It's just really reduce my anxiety around what I'm doing and where I'm going and what I need to do. And it's just made the plan very, very clear for me. The trade off has been not only the financial advice but it's actually significantly helped me in all aspects of my life in terms of planning, just reducing my anxiety around money.

I'm a first home buyer waiting for your mortgage distress

COMMENT:The headlines in the Trade Me property section are markedly different from the height of the market two years ago. Gone are the “get in quick” or “this one will fly off the market” assertions. Instead, I’ve started to see titles more like: “Stressed vendor says sell” and “Desperation = Bargain time for buyers”…
